My work is concerned with memory and the aspects of a significant place or experience that impress themselves upon the mind of an individual. Pulling my imagery from places significant to my own personal history, I use abstraction and distortion to point to the distance between recollection and reality. I use very solid, clearly defined, hard-edged forms and highly specific color to translate places that are no longer accessible to me in any tangible way and exist only in the nebulous, and fallible, realm of my memory. Elements of these spaces are translated in a way that acknowledges the separation from the reality of the actual time and place, while still striving to make them feel concrete and present.
